Ask Lemmy

Organise more and better LARPs

Streamer but in like a chill way, no subs

I would still be programming. Just that it would be the projects I want to do, instead of the ones my employer wants to do.

Kung fu, charitable volunteering, and any intellectual challenge I could take on.

play more games learn to draw maybe pick up a new language.

Do so much more with horses Video games Art

I'd grow food. Good food, and way more than I or my family could possibly eat. I'd also grow beautiful, ecosystem-supporting native plants. I'd offer to do the same for my neighbors who dont enjoy such things, or who just want a beautiful and functional yard.

With my leftover time i'd go hiking a couple times a week, and I'd read scientific literature when the sun goes down.

Build Legos and Gundam models. Finish writing my novel I keep restarting. Hold more Hunter: The Reckoning sessions for the group I Storytell for. Game, work my way through my backlog. Spend more time with my wife.

Open a non-profit primitive skills school. There are several of these skills that are rapidly dying and will likely be gone within a generation.

I'd probably teach something like scuba diving.

Probably mostly cooking, cleaning, going on adventures with the dog, playing music, and smoking extravagant amounts of weed

Go around pantsing people all day. Go so hard that it starts to feel like work. Then pants myself and end it all.

I would walk my dog, lift weights, study foreign languages, help my community

Make stuffed animals and donate them to hospitals, fire stations, and police stations

Organize town-wide scavenger hunts

Learn to cook good food and give it away to people who want some

Start a group that would teach people how to use a sewing machine.

Organize a bearded dragon rescue.

Trim people's hedges

Make videos to share all my knowledge with people for free

Write only free code. Right now, probably 80% of my code is free. I’d bump that up to 100%.

First year I'd definitely visit all Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man.

Make music, perform music, make games, make movies, write small books and maybe draw pictures.

And then I would try out being a research attorney, being an EMT, a pilot, maybe working with NASA at some point and working for some government agency specializing in digital warfare.

People always assume if you had everything you would just sit at home and be lazy and never try anything. But from my experience you don't do that shit just because you're complacent, you do it because either you are way too stressed out to try out new stuff or you are in the middle of a depressive episode. Almost all people I know wouldn't be able to be lazy for more than 2 weeks, they would start making something.

A) mental health would absolutely improve so I'd have more energy for

B) producing more shows and putting on more events. Personally I don't want to retire because I want to create a career where if I did retire I'd just do what I was doing anyway. I'm kinda doing that now but I have more BS and stress to deal with.

Read a lot of books. Swim. Go for coffee anytime I could with friends. Volunteer. Sit and stare out the window at the rain. Foster parenting.

Knowing me, do what I normally do in my free time, but hopefully actually get projects done.

I'd have plenty of time to play games, watch my shows, listen to CDs/music, hopefully finish a project I started on Wattpad or another program, and spend time learning coding to help with my NeoCities site and some other projects I wanna work on but don't know enough to make become a realiety.

I'd design and build useful things

Probably continue to work in transpiration with special needs school kids. My job isn't so much about money to me at this point I'm deeply emotionally invested.

Fish

Volunteer, hands down. Local community stuff, create something akin to a co-op public broadcasting channel, spend time with my animals, bake and donate goods.

You know those people who restore old machinery and equipment? Locomotives, historic warships, industrial sites and so on? I'd absolutely be dedicating my day to that. There's something so satisfying about seeing that old stuff work, but they're always chronically understaffed and struggling to keep up with everything.

Oh, and write a novel.

A podcast about the pre-columbian Americas which in all honesty would be a Hardcore History knockoff.

Write, write until I drop dead, with a smile in my face.

Make my pottery, dive deeper into woodworking, and learn permaculture farming.

Move to Canada, Europe, or Aus/NZ.

Most likely scroll through Lemmy and play video games, pursue hobbies.

Travel, meet with friends, play video games, watch some movies.
